Books Bring People Together in Rochester

By Elizabeth Kwiatkowski

Rochester Area School Librarians held their first meeting this week to talk about popular books, methods of book selection, and how to get students involved in book groups. Membership is $10 for students and a great opportunity for networking with fellow librarians. More events are being planned, so check out the website at rasl.wikispaces.com.

There will also be several exciting opportunities to meet some famous authors and illustrators in November. As a special preview to the Rochester Children’s Book Festival, members of RASL have been invited to the Rochester Area Children’s Writers and Illustrators’ meeting on Thursday, November 6 at the Pittsford Barnes & Noble from 7 to 9 pm. Come on out and spend some time with some of the coolest people in the book world! Check back on the blog for more information about upcoming meetings and workshops in the Rochester area.
